Skylanders Trap Team announced

Activision has announced Skylanders Trap Team for release on October 10 in Europe.

The new game will apparently let children pull characters out of the digital world into the physical world by capturing them in magical Traps.

The game will include the brand new Traptanium Portal, a new ring of magical energy that enables kids to not only bring their Skylanders to life, but also magically capture villains using the new Traps. Once they’ve defeated the villains, kids will be able to place a Trap into the new portal to capture them. They will also be able to hear the villains inside the Traps.

"When we created Skylanders, we invented a new category of play and, in the process, disrupted two industries - videogames and toys. With each new Skylanders game, our commitment to continuous, disruptive innovation has led to surprising and delightful new ways for kids to play with toys and games,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing, Inc. “With Skylanders Trap Team, we’re no longer just letting kids bring their toys to life inside the game anymore. This time, we’re letting them pull their toys out of the game as well. We are confident this instalment of Skylanders will once again redefine what’s possible at the intersection of the physical and virtual worlds."

Skylanders Trap Team will be available on Xbox 360 and Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, Nintendo’s Wii and Nintendo 3DS.
